Beef and Noodles: a quick, cozy 30-minute family meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside.
- Cook the beef: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion. Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease.
- Add seasonings: Stir in garlic, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Build the gravy: Sprinkle flour over the beef and stir to coat. Add beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir well and simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Make it creamy: Stir in sour cream until the gravy becomes silky and smooth.
- Combine: Add the cooked noodles back into the pot and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and enjoy this cozy, delicious bowl of comfort!
Notes
- Tip: For a thicker sauce, whisk together 1 teaspoon of flour with a small amount of cold water and stir back into the gravy while simmering.
- Meal-prep option: Cook noodles and brown the beef ahead of time; reheat with the gravy and noodles when ready to serve.
- Substitutions: Ground turkey or chicken can be used in place of beef; for a lighter version, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat sour cream.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
